Documentary about the Tamil community in Canada and its connection to the fight for the Tamils still in Sri Lanka for independence from Sri Lanka. Subjects discussed include: a power struggle between the ten Tamil organizations in Canada over a non-violent solution to the Tamil’s fight for self-determination versus the violent approach of the Tamil Tigers; the question of whether some Tamil organizations in Canada are fronts and fund raisers for the Tamil Tigers; Tamil refugees in Canada; federal and provincial funding for Tamil organizations; information from informants to the police indicating that millions of dollars are raised by the Tamil community to send to Sri Lanka; the question about whether the Tamil Tigers are terrorists or freedom fighters; threats against a Tamil journalist who started a newspaper in Toronto to counter what he viewed as Tamil propaganda; and speculation that the Tamil community in Canada might pressure the Canadian government to pressure Sri Lanka to bring about a peaceful settlement with the Tamils there. Interviewees include: a Tamil poet and doctoral student at York University; a Toronto police detective on special task force on Asian crime; Tamil community leaders; author Shyam Salvaduri and Tamil journalist David Jeyaraj. Actuality includes a CBC radio news report broadcast on 20 October 1995 about the arrest by immigration officials of a Sri Lankan man in Toronto for allegedly raising money for the Tamil Tigers. <20mn 31s>
